Team USA FIFA cows - udderly patriotic

MONROVIA, ALabama - State Rep. Phil Williams and his wife Lisa wanted happy, no maintenance cows with personality, not the kind you have to get up at 4 a.m. to feed or milk. Since moving into their home on Old Monrovia Road people kept asking when they were going to get cows for their pasture. Last October they found their ceramic herd and had them shipped from Texas.

At first the happy cows became Breast Cancer Awareness cows. Since then they have been Thanksgiving cows, Christmas cows, New Years cows, St. Patrick's Day cows, Spring cows and Panoply cows.

With Team USA playing in the FIFA World Cup and the Fourth of July, the Williams decided on a two-for to celebrate both events with their happy all-American beef cows.

"It's a lot of fun to bring cheer to people driving by our house. And...it gives us a way of showing our American Spirit," Lisa said.
